Check this out!

I WON! For my story "Maker of Flight" that also won at ChiZine.com last year. It is based on the novel Filaria by Brent Hayward. I beat out 200 other stories, WOW! I figured, since you could enter previously published work, that MOF was a good story to send in. Good call, I guess!
I found Jotspeak via Facebook, they approached me about joining a couple of months ago. Seems like a real good community, and I hope to get more involved. Looks like I'll be a featured artist/author for a month too! Always good to get new eyes on my work.

Thanks, Gordon. For sure, and I submitted this one because I thought it might be one of my strongest. And I didn't want to "sacrifice" a new story because I want to send those out and aim high. Plus I didn't really have anything worth a damn sitting around. But it still blows my mind that this story won at ChiZine, and then won AGAIN at Jotspeak, beating 200 people. That's just crazy. I may have to pursue this steampunk stuff after all.

Nice.
Congrats, man. It's easy to overlook the previously-published ones sometimes because we're not thinking about submitting those.
